I, too, frequently need to add a "hand-written" signature to a document, and your step-by-step on scanning the original and then using Stamps in Acrobat is the perfect solution. Second, people might be interested to know that, if for some reason Photoshop isn't available, GIMP, the free alternative, does the exact same job, and your step-by-step advice is totally the same. Keep up the good work! Two things: this was fantastic advice.

I don't really know a lot about 7, but if I recall they aren't a LOT different for most uses. I can say I really like 8 though! If you have any problems or issues with bugginess in 7 it might be worth it. @Mark – I’ve been using Acrobat for many years…I went from 5 to 8 when I needed to use it for automated forms for a client.

I LOVE it! It works the same way in Adobe 8 except for a minor difference in the names. To import your signature as a stamp with Adobe 8: go to: Tools > Comment & Markup > Stamps > Create Custom Stamps. Happy Holidays!
